Weekly Online Movie Gathering - Episodes "The Hood Maker and Ascension Through Relationship'" with David Hoffmeister
from A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Podcast · host David Hoffmeister ACIM Teacher
Weekly Online Movie Gathering with commentary by David HoffmeisterThe top themes of this week's blocks to the awakening poll were "Fear of love", "Specialness", and "Authority problem" and to cover these topics all the way to enlightenment, 2 short different episodes were chosen. A Philip K. Dick story from the Electric Dreams series (2017) 'The Hood Maker' and a Black Mirror episode originally called 'Hang the DJ', but renamed by David to 'Ascension Through Relationship'. The two episodes revolve around specialness and the special relationship, which is the belief in the ego's thought system. Its the belief in private thoughts and a private mind. It's the belief that you can have a mind private to your own personhood which is made of private thoughts and secrets. So when we are faced with a call to awaken, the fear is the fear of loss of privacy and the fear of lack of trust. Because can we trust ourselves or someone whose behavior is determent by secrets?Watching movies is a way of stepping back and remembering that what we see on the screen is not real. Life itself is a big projection. There is a method to watch movies in an enlightened way that leads to observing the events and scenes and scripts of the world—with forgiving eyes. These spiritual movies can be used as a way of expanding consciousness and ultimately experiencing the depth and meaning of the Inner Self.
